days out

It’s finally arrived, the last day of term. We have six weeks of school holidays stretching out before us. Last year, I did a summer bucket list and it failed miserably. I suppose G wasn’t very old-that is my excuse anyway. This year, I have decided to think smaller. That way we may have … [Read more…]

You may have noticed last week that I wrote a piece telling you about the Royal Cheshire Show taking place at Tabley Show Ground in Knutsford next week, June the 21st and 22nd. According to UK County Shows, there are 86 counties and 150 agricultural shows each year in the UK so if you are … [Read more…]

This is our third year of taking part in Open Farm Sunday. Visiting that is, not hosting. Hubster is still saying no. I am going to have to take the powers of persuasion up a notch. I like to go somewhere new each year so we decided on Abbey Lays Organic farm in High Legh, … [Read more…]

After our failed trip to our local animal auction a month or so ago, I was reluctant to return. Not least for the fact that I realised how difficult it would be to go on my own, buy animals, push the pram and hang on to an excited five-year-old. Last week however, I was feeling … [Read more…]

If like me, the likelihood of attending a music festival this year is slim to none, fear not. You can still pull on a pair of wellies, grab your lanyard and get festival ready for the biggest music event of the year as a number of chart-toppers line up in Blackpool. The new festival named … [Read more…]

Geronimo is back! And this year it’s going to be bigger and better. Seeing a return to Tatton Park in 2016 from May 29th – 30th and a new venue at Harewood House from May 1st – 2nd, expect a line-up jam packed with some of the biggest names in children’s entertainment, including TV favourites … [Read more…]

Sometimes, as a blogger, I get invited to very exciting things and last Saturday was one of them. We were invited to the Lego Discovery Centre at the Trafford Centre. Hubster was unable to go due to the farm that day so my Mum came with me and the two children and we arrived early … [Read more…]

At weekend, a Facebook post caught my eye. A so-called Candy Boat was to be moored at a canal near the farm. It looked so novel. After a quick search on Mr Google, it emerged that the Candy Boat had been doing the rounds across the North West so, on Sunday afternoon, I put the … [Read more…]

Following a hugely successful first festival in 2015, Geronimo is proud to announce it is not only returning to Tatton Park in Cheshire for a second year in 2016, but it also has a new second home at Harewood House, just outside Leeds. Taking place over the weekends of 1 – 2 May (Harewood House) … [Read more…]
